An introduction to Maison Hennessy's legacy, savoir-faire, and the secrets of cognac-making.

Designed with newcomers in mind, the Hennessy Initiation Tour offers an introductory overview of the Maison's legacy, its time-honored craftsmanship, and the secrets of cognac-making. Board a shuttle for a brief crossing of the Charente River — an essential part of the Maison’s history — and step into a culture of excellence and dedication to savoir-faire.

Highlights of this hour-and-a-half odyssey for beginners include a visit to the Pavillon cellar, where the Maison’s saga comes to life.

It also includes a visit of an active ageing cellar where you'll learn about the phenomenon known as the "angels' share."

A presentation of the Hennessy Tasting Committee's daily ritual is followed by a guided tasting of two of Hennessy's most popular cognacs, Hennessy V.S and Hennessy V.S.O.P — neat, on the rocks and in a cocktail.

Please note that for health reasons, pets are not allowed on the grounds.

Also, this specific visit has very limited availability, usually once a day.
